The federal government has awarded $50 million each to two major highway projects in Oklahoma, including one near Tinker Air Force Base, U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe said Wednesday.

Inhofe and other members of the Oklahoma congressional delegation sought the funding, which was awarded through the Department of Transportation’s Infrastructure for Rebuilding America grant program.
